What About That Lyin Lion?

Contributed by Craig Benner on Apr 20, 2013

We automatically think about the devil when the word lion is mentioned in a message. Look a little closer and see who the lion really represents in the Scriptures.

Is there a Lyin Lion? The Lion of Juda--The Real King Rev. 5:1-5 1 ¶ And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to ...read more

Thank God For That Friday Series

Contributed by Perry Greene on Mar 15, 2016

What's It Going To Cost Me? Series

Contributed by Lanny Smith on Feb 3, 2021

We can know the price of an item but not necessarily understand what it's going to cost us. Jesus asks us to make and informed and deliberate decision about deciding to follow Him by outlining what it's going to cost us. (spoiler alert: it's everything - but it's worth it.)

Take Up Your Cross

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Feb 24, 2021

As people run headlong into a world going nowhere, escaping reality in their hedonistic lifestyles, are we ashamed of Jesus and His words? Are we ashamed of suffering as Christians? Let’s look at Jesus’ countercultural instructions in Mark 8:31-38.

Blowing Up Boxes Series

Contributed by Lanny Smith on Feb 24, 2021

We often find ourselves putting people in "boxes." Race, gender, and endless number of boxes. And it's limiting. We put limits on expectations of others and ourselves. As we follow Jesus, we watch him "blow up" the box around a man born blind.

Antipas: The Perverse And Putrid Puppet Ruler Of Galilee Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 12, 2021

The story of Herod Antipas is one of treachery, murder, lust, cowardice, deceit, and perversion. He was responsible for the murder of John the Baptist and ridiculed Jesus on the day of His execution. The family of Herod had no redeeming qualities and are examples of unredeemed humanity.

It would make sense to say that the ministry of the Lord Jesus was attracting a great deal of attention and some scrutiny by virtue of His wondrous teachings, His compassion to all who came to Him in faith and trust, the way He handled the criticisms and pettiness of the Pharisees, His ability ...read more

Running To Jesus

Contributed by Thomas Andrufski on Mar 17, 2021

When a sinner realizes that they are lost and understand the meaning of salvation, they should RUN to Jesus and not delay. There are several examples of men in the New Testament who actually ran to Jesus.

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 26, 2021

But what sets the lady apart from the ...read more
